Update FC9: VolGroup00 not found

Hallo,

I just did a yum upgrade from FC 6 to FC 9 and did all steps described in [1].

On the FC 6 install, there was a LVM active with root partition on
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00.

By mistake, I ran grub-install /dev/hda before booting.

After rebooting, everything looks fine, but then I get
"/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00" not found.

So I checked the initrd file built by the kernel rpm and there is no dm_mod
required for LVM included.

I ran mkinitrd from a Knoppix system and then the generated initrd looked
fine when I extracted its contents. The dm_mod is now included, but the
problem still exists.

I guess there's no problem with grub, but it is scary because in the yum
Upgrade FAQ they say "LVM Volume names are not affected."

My question is, the change to libata from FC 6 to FC 7 should not consider
my LVM-only installation, should it?

What else can I do to get a working initrd?


Regards,
Daniel
